MBB: Pritchard Career High Helps Ducks Move Past Relentless Sun Devils

Oregon remains unbeaten at home and moves to 3-1 in Pac-12 play behind a career high 29 points from senior Payton Pritchard in a 78-69 win. The star West Linn native had 15 points on strictly threes in the first half (5-7). He tied her career high in points and was one long ball away from tying his three pointers in a game. Mathis and Duarte each had 8 points at intermission as well, but it was the Dominican who scored 12 points in the second half to finish with 20. Oregon shot 48% from the field, but it was the 14-23 from the free throw line that kept ASU in the game till late. Remy Martin, the Sun Devils’s star point guard, was just as hot as the Duck’s point guard. Martin also had 29 points on 9-21 shooting, including a 3-9 performance from deep to go along with his 6 assists. The Ducks work on the boards was another factor that helped get the win, winning the rebound battle 37-28. Oregon will look to take their 2 game win streak up to the Washington schools beginning Thursday in Pullman.
